True, it's not fair. I didn't say that your first implementation had to be beneath C, but if you really want to replace the language at the bottom of the stack, you have to rewrite the stack. Otherwise, you haven't really replaced it, now have you?
- hueving 10y agoNo, that's not true. You can replace lots of unsafe C code with safer code even if C is used somewhere in the system. You can decide to stop using dynamite to remove weeds and still use it in mining.
